Very simply, the editor collected a number of tips and hints from different sources and put them in a book. I read through the book once and have never picked it up again. It is not the type of book that you will use as a reference for knitting. There are no lessons or patterns, just a collection of very short tips. ( )

Much more for the hand knitter, it does contain plenty of tips that the machine knitter can also use, especially in finishing techniques. ( )

Knitting Tips and Trade Secrets Expanded contains 30% new material on everything from how to knit (and crochet) a better buttonhole to taking the kinks out of your circular needles. Organized by type of tip (yarn tips, tips for knitting in more than one color, tips for garment assembly, tips for machine knitters, crochet tips) for easy reference and illustrated with more than 170 step-by-step drawings, Knitting Tips and Trade Secrets Expanded is a knitting (and crochet) bag necessity.
